CARRABASSETT VALLEY – Kevin Mannix and Linda Rota, husband and wife, will share their individual experiences from their childhood and adult lives that brought them to living with shame and stigma. The type of shame that is deeply internalized, that can cause long-term unhappiness, discomfort, confusion, and even emotional paralysis.
In this book, “Weathering Shame,” they share their life experiences, the struggles encountered, lessons learned, feelings of shame, and the stigma that resulted from growing up exposed to alcoholism, severe depression and suicide. The talk will be at 4:30 p.m. Friday, April 14, in the Begin Family Community Room at the Carrabassett Valley Public Library. For more information about this book signing and talk, call 207-237-3535.
